Chapter 62: True Defense Against the Dark Arts
The Hufflepuff-Slytherin match was over, and it was as exciting as everyone had hoped.
First, the Hufflepuff players were poisoned, and Scamander came off the bench; Then the Slytherin martial arts team, the opponent injured several players in a row; and the final brilliant 100-metre acceleration to catch the Golden Snitch, Scamander made the perfect debut......
Of course, everyone's brilliance was destined to be overshadowed by Professor Quirrell.
He was the first professor to open his mind at the Quidditch pitch!
Bludgers are enchanted and will fly around the field, knocking players off broomsticks, which is a normal thing.
But it's just that a student is hit, but as a professor, he is hit...... Quirrell was still the first!
If it had only come to this, it would have been another demonstration of his incompetence, but the drama came......
When Madam Pomfrey arrives at the stadium to untie Professor Quirrell's scarf and perform treatment, Quirrell
It is a medical miracle to wake up from a coma!
He even refused Madam Pomfrey's treatment on the spot, and stammered:
"Minor injury...... Out of the way...... Go back and recuperate for a few days...... That's it. ”
Many people heard the sound of skulls cracking, and those who got a little closer even felt that the back of their heads were sunken, but it was still only a minor injury...... Out of the way?
Quirrell immediately reversed his cowardly image in the eyes of the young wizard and became the iron-blooded tough guy that everyone said by word, leaving Professor Snape, who was originally at his level, far behind, and pulling the notch away.
Of course, everyone is more curious about Quirrell's head, what exactly is it made of, this kind of skull cracking injury, he even thinks it's just a small injury?!
There was all sorts of speculation, and Hannah told everyone that Professor Quirrell might have practiced the magic of the Far East, the Iron Head Gong, and that she had seen a group of monks before, and they would knock bricks on the door of their heads when they were fine......
Susan Bones thinks that Professor Quirrell's scarf may be a powerful magical item that counteracts some of his damage.
Justin only watched the newly released Terminator 2 during the summer vacation, and he tried to convince everyone that Professor Quirrell was no longer a wizard.
At the Hufflepuff table, he told everyone over and over again:
"Quirrell is a Muggle-made robot, not a human like T800, he was sent back by Muggles from the future to destroy Hogwarts!"
The curiosity about Quirrell's head was like a grass seed that took root in the hearts of all the little wizards and began to take root.
Until one day, I don't know who it was, a reward of ten Galleons was offered, which pushed this curiosity to the extreme:
Whoever gets Quirrell to untie his scarf and enjoy the sun to the fullest will get ten Galleons!
Ten Galleons is not a small amount for a young wizard, and everyone wants to earn this bounty.
Many students lay in ambush at the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office every day, waiting for Professor Quirrell to come out and blast the gold coins so hard that he hasn't come out since he entered the office.
The young wizard also rumored that Quirrell might be dead, and that he had become a ghost like Professor Binns.
Even Professor Trelawney, who rarely showed up, was shocked by the incident.
That night, she had come to the Great Hall to inform Dumbledore that she had prophesied early on in class that a professor would leave us forever.
She also said that she had warned Professor Quirrell not to go to Quidditch matches, as his life was in danger, but he would not listen.
When Professor McGonagall snorted disappreciatively, Professor Trelawney prophesied on the spot:
Gryffindor will not win the Quidditch Cup this school year, just as Charlie Artillery are destined to finish bottom of the league this year.
Such a vicious curse could have made McGonagall angry, and if Sprout hadn't stopped her, she would have done it to let Trelawney know why the flowers were so red.
Before leaving, Professor Trelawney, in addition to asking Professor Dumbledore to give her a raise, told the first- and second-year students that they could come to her divination class in the third year.
Many young wizards were frightened by Trelawney, after all, this is a witch who dares to go toe-to-toe with Professor McGonagall, and it is not easy to watch.
After Professor Quirrell was injured, it was Snape who was the happiest, because ......
"Your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor injured his brain in last week's game......"
During Defence Against the Dark Arts class on Thursday, Rov was whispering Transfiguration with Shirley when he saw Professor Snape swagger in.
With a flick of his wand, the black curtains and planks on the walls vanished.
"But don't worry, the brain is the least important thing about Professor Quirrell, it doesn't matter if it's hurt or not, you don't have to worry about it......"
The classroom fell silent, and everyone looked up at Professor Snape, not expecting him to take over the class for the time being, which was not good news.
Professor Snape took a deep breath and said with a look of disgust:
"How do you put up with this kind of environment, this smell ......?"
He waved his wand again, and all the windows opened, and the cold wind blew in, and the little wizards shivered.
Many students are secretly complaining, you have a big oily hair that has not been washed for several months, and you are embarrassed to say that the garlic in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom smells bad?
If everyone is curious about what Quirrell's head looks like under his scarf, then for Snape, it is a genuine hope that he will be wrapped in a scarf soon.
"Where's your class?" Snape lazily asked, "Rol Scamander?" ”
Rove stood up...... He really didn't know, he didn't talk about it after missing a few classes, and he basically didn't listen to Quirrell's nonsense in class.
Neville was tempted to prompt Rove, but he opened his mouth, his face flushed, and he realized that he had forgotten about it.
Shirley, who was sitting on the side, saw Snape standing not far away, but she still lowered her voice to remind Rove, and the boy repeated:
"Now that we've read the second chapter, Professor Quirrell has asked us to memorize that text about the introduction to dark creatures this week, and we're going to write it silently......"
"Could it be that Scamander also broke his brain in the game and needs you to take care of it now, Swinton?" Snape walked over to the two with a straight face and sneered:
"Helpful, huh? Hufflepuff deducts five points, Ravenclaw deducts ten! ”
The ponytail girl pursed her lips, this was the first time she had been deducted points.
"Alright, it seems to me that your progress is zero!" Snape said impatiently:
"You've been so focused on the little things that don't matter that you've wasted most of the semester that you haven't even learned the slightest bit about Defence Against the Dark Arts."
Professor Snape walked around the classroom, throwing all the items Quirrell had left behind in the trash, as if he wouldn't be coming back.
"If I were to teach, you would have finished learning the red hats by now, not still reading the text." Professor Snape paced the room and uttered sarcastic words:
"I dare say that when I was seven years old, I had more magic than you do now, and at your level, I was not as good as the ghouls in the dungeon."
"Now I'm turning to seventy-nine pages......" Snape finally finished venting his pent-up frustration, he shouted, "Hurry up! Hurry!! ”
"Can anyone tell me, what is Kaba?" Professor Snape lifted his chin and asked lazily, "Neville Longbottom?" ”
After deducting another five points from Neville, Snape sat him down satisfied, and with Quidditch points, Hufflepuff had quietly moved to first place in the house score.
In line with the relativistic principle that to deduct points from other houses is to give himself extra points, Professor Snape has focused his attacks on the badgers.
"Tsk, if it's all at this level, I dare to say that the probability of you passing this course at the end of the semester is zero." Professor Snape sneered:
"The Kaba, also known as the kappa, is a crawling aquatic magical animal with a beak like a bird, claws like a frog, scaly bodies, short hair on the top of the head, and a red, water-like monkey."
"The Kaba mainly feeds human blood and will try to strangle those who wade through the pond without defense......"
The young wizards scrambled to take notes, and Snape asked, "Who knows where Kaba's weakness is?" Scamander? ”
"Head." Rove stood up again and replied, "There is a depression in the center of Kaba's head, like a saucer, and there is water in it, and when there is no water, Kaba will become weak.
If you want to deal with the Kaba, you can take a cucumber and trick them into bowing, so that the water will flow out of their heads, and thus lose their power......"
"It's as clumsy as a troll against a horned camel." Snape said with some disdain, "I'll teach you a magic that can attack Cardo's heads and force them to drain the water......"
When the bell finally rang, Snape exclaimed:
"Each of you writes a paper and gives it to me, on how to deal with Cardo's head and how to run out of water, on this topic of three-foot parchment."
Professor Snape was too addicted to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and finally said contentedly:
"It's best for everyone to pray for Professor Quirrell to recuperate in his office and not come back to class.
And I,
It will give you an insight...... What is the real Defense Against the Dark Arts! ”
